WWE 2K Story – Chapter Eight, Finale: Survival of the Fittest

Survivor Series

Vince McMahon is in the ring with daughter Stephanie, as he introduces the man who will lead Team McMahon in tonight’s main event, Randy Orton! Randy Orton comes to the ring and shakes both of their hands, but before he can talk Jinder Mahal storms out. While he is approaching the ring, Jinder complains that he should be leading the team tonight, still showing signs of losing control like earlier in the year. Vince tells Jinder to calm down. Jinder is suddenly attacked by Kurt Angle from behind. Orton goes to attack Kurt, but Vince holds him off.

Angle grabs Jinder’s microphone and tells Jinder he’ll get more of that later tonight, because Angle is officially entering himself into the 8-Man Elimination Tag Team Match, taking Randy Orton’s spot. Kurt tells Randy he has no idea why he turned his back on everyone, but tonight he will regret it and that it’s true, its damn true! Kurt heads to the back as the ring announcers say a total of 12 matches are scheduled for tonight, with an impromptu 13th ‘overtime’ match if there’s a tiebreaker.

Stephanie says failure is unacceptable when it’s ‘all you do’ (referring to Ivory & Jacqueline). Stephanie asks what plan Jinder and Vince have, but Vince says that it’s nothing to worry about.

Asuka tells Itami he has chosen an unwise path, but Itami argues that the path he has chosen is one of a true fighter and survivor. Asuka agrees but says the nobility of a warrior is just as important as fighting skills, which she claims Itami is not. Hideo becomes angry and gets in Asuka’s face.

He asks point-blank in English if Asuka thinks he is noble? She reveals she does not. Asuka says she knows someone who is coming to take the NXT Championship from him and bring nobility back to their respected country of Japan. Going back to Japanese, Itami asks who else from Japan she thinks can defeat him? Asuka claims Itami should know, as she personally asked ‘him’ to come to WWE to help fight with her. Itami says, ‘it’s not… is it?’ Asuka smiles and leaves as Itami looks concerned for a change, before leaving for his match.

Itami is livid he lost his belt and goes after Neville. Suddenly, Shinsuke Nakamura‘s music hits! Nakamura comes out on stage as Itami looks like he’s seen a ghost!

Vince says as current majority shareholder and owner of the WWE, he gets to tell AJ that he must stay and fight. He smiles and pats AJ hard on the shoulder, telling him it could all ride on the Phenomenal One. Vince exits as AJ doesn’t look happy.

Vince comes out on stage, asking Shane to come out as well. Shane does as Vince says they have a tiebreaker, and that Vince is going to send out the WWE Universal Champion AJ Styles.

Austin wins as he’s the new champion and Vince must give all his timeshares to Shane! The entire WWE locker room comes out to celebrate. Vince is in shock at ringside. Suddenly, the lights go out and turn back on as Papa Shango is standing on top of the announcer’s table located next to the stage. Shango is surrounded by JBL, Diesel, Sanity and many others that represent Team McMahon. The lights go out again and turn back on as Bray Wyatt is in the middle of the ring with Undertaker’s Urn.

Bray laughs that Austin was able to escape their compound, but claims it to be foolish. Wyatt then opens the urn but turns it upside down. The ring slowly begins to suck into the urn like a milkshake through a straw. The lights go out and turn back on as Bray is gone. Shango, using his cane, begins to manipulate Undertaker’s Urn by slowly turning it into circles while speeding up the pace. The middle of the ring has become a Maelstrom-like time portal, with Shango turning the circles faster and faster.

The Maelstrom’s Victims

The Maelstrom picks up speed and begins sucking superstars into it! The Shield go after Shango as Cena and others try to save people from being sucked through! Noam Dar, Alicia Fox, Emma, Akira Tozawa, Darren Young, Titus O’Neil, Gran Metalik, Jack Gallagher, The Hype Bros, Rich Swann, Curt Hawkins, and Bo Dallas get sucked through the ring Maelstrom! Lana tries to hold onto her husband’s leg, but let’s go as she is sucked into the Maelstrom as well! Bobby Heenan is hanging on to Andre the Giant, but Heenan’s hand slips as he too is sucked through to Andre’s fright.

JBL, Diesel, and Sanity fight The Shield back towards the ring. Sanity is trying to push Roman Reigns into the ring, but Strowman picks up both Wolfe & Dain and tosses them in! Strowman then tosses Eric Young in, who screams in his patent voice as he goes down the Maelstrom. Nikki Cross just decides to jump in after her faction. Dean & Seth are able to fight off Diesel & JBL, tossing them each into the Maelstrom as well. Nikki Bella screams as she sees her sister Brie holding onto one of the turnbuckles. John Cena sees this and reaches out to Brie but she lets go just as John gets there, being sucked into the Maelstrom!

Closing the Maelstrom

A laser beam fires at Papa Shango, which startles he and the ring commentators, as Shango falls off the commentary table and into a coffin that Undertaker has waiting. Undertaker locks the coffin, while Kane closes the urn and stops the maelstrom. The camera pans to show that the laser came from The New Day’s Unicorn Horns, with the faction on stage.

Cena, The Shield, The New Day and many others try to escort people into the back locker room as Vince looks at the chaos he ultimately created. Shane tells Vince that on Monday night, he expects the contract for his timeshares to be finalized so that this finally ends. Shane leaves to continue with helping others as Vince looks on in disbelief.

Meanwhile…

Stephanie is watching everything backstage. Talking to somebody off-screen, Stephanie says her father is very predictable and it’s a good thing they planned everything from the start. Stephanie says that’s why she fell in love with whoever she is speaking to.
